Paradise put their dominant pitchers on display in the team's fourth consecutive shutout on Tuesday. They never let the Pilot Point Bearcats get on the board and left with an 11-0 win. Considering the Panthers have won seven matches by more than five runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.

At the plate, Madden Taylor was a standout: he scored two runs while going 1-for-2. He has become a key player for Paradise: the team is undefeated when he posts at least two runs, but 3-7-2 otherwise. Another player making a difference was Leland Mattern, who went 2-for-3 with three RBI and one double.

Paradise has been performing well recently as they've won seven of their last nine contests. That's provided a massive bump to their 7-7-2 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.8 runs over those games. As for Pilot Point, they are on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 6-11.

Paradise will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Bearcats: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.
